Well, when I say "they" I mean they're cause/organization, etc.
Although, they may believe that they are doing themselves good too, such
as the Japanese kamikaze pilots, or some middle eastern extremists.

It certainly is confusing. I question a bunch of Mcviegh types too, I
mean, I don't think we normally get a big concentration of McViegh
types..... you'd have to be really crazy, not just a follower of a
